Oh come on. Thosw who bought a 10 dollar stock to stick to the man drove it up to 100+ for may credibly say they did it on principle. But those who bought at a 100+ sold to those who bought at 200+ who sold to those who bought at 300+. That’s a ponzi scheme.

There is no way they could have gotten out en masse without sending it all tumbling down anyway. This stock was always going to tumble down the way it rose. It rose fast and made millionaires, it will go down fast and lose people their homes.

The newly minted millionaires will not destroy the hedge funds, the hedge funds already got bailed out. They will make money off suckers who used their savings/income to buy the overinflated stock at 500 USD hoping to join the ride. But the ride is at its end. Those who bought the stock at 10 already made their…

There is no one to root for here. The only thing that is clear after trying to understand this mess is that shorting should be illegal. Hedge funds borrow stock from the stock market (e.g. your shitty retirement fund or another billionaire fund) when it’s at 100 dollars and sell it at that price. They bet that the…

Turns out Wall Street’s grasp of the stock market is about as deep as my dog’s understanding of gravitational physics. Maybe these hucksters shouldn’t be allowed to run world economies?

Didn’t realize sea anemone was my aesthetic until now.

Truth. But, I’m also happy to see the good sis get her coins. If companies think they can buy their way to the right side of social justice, then I’d rather actual black people get some economic upside from the hypocrisy.

Yes! The mask and belt definitely serving Regina King as Sister Night in Watchmen. 

I loved that Kamala and Hillary were on the same purple wavelength. It’s coincidental, but there is so much symbolism there.

All I have to say is - Let us not fuck up the next opportunity we get to choose her as the 47th POTUS.

Exactly. The problem is the tokenism that allows a governor to be the decider of whether a majority Hispanic population state gets its first Hispanic senator ever or whether the country keeps its only black woman senator seat. It’s insane that one man gets to do this on a political whim. 

I’m pretty sure all that is required is a judge. The founding fathers sure as hell did not expect POTUSesto stand outside in the middle of January in below freezing weather, just to listen to divas like Lady Gaga lip sync to protect their vocal cords.

At this point, the wise thing to do would be to move the inauguration indoors and live stream only. They need to restrict the event to family and friends of the new POTUS and VPOTUS. They may want to project a normal transition of power, but nothing about this is normal. There is a pandemic and officials are spooked…

They are correct and they are wisely doing some expectation management here. But, I hope the Biden admin realizes the mileage on this excuse is very short.

We are being too generous in fact. They have not been forced to apologize, and they aren’t even asking for forgiveness. They just want the whole thing to be forgotten. An abuser would have pretended at remorse and made promises to be better. Not these fuckers.

Yup. “Don’t press charges or you might drive my family into committing more drunk driving deaths. And it will all be your fault”

Oh did I get drunk and run you over with my car? My bad. Don’t press charges though, focus on regrowing on your leg.

Another thing this goddamned pandemic has affected is the lack of the comforting environment of group therapy. But I hope you have found/will find other parents who know the extent of your loss.

I didn’t link to the Tulsa massacre to avoid bad faith “hyperbole” rebuttals like the comment taking issue with the headline below.

In HBO’s Watchmen, Regina King’s character figures out that the police leadership, police force, military, and congress is chock full of members of Cyclops (the shows version of the KKK). The writers must be chilled by their accuracy.
